refactor: improve Ollama sequential fix with better test and deduplication

- Enhanced test file with comprehensive behavioral validation
- Added proper module import handling and mock-based testing
- Extracted duplicated logic into _handle_ollama_sequential_logic helper
- Eliminated 18-line code duplication between sync and async methods
- Improved maintainability while preserving backward compatibility
